yes, that is how we do it in the sunny outlands.   oranges and pickles.  we 
actually got the pickle idea from ansteoran/calontiri waterbearers at one 
estrella.  the fighting guys and gals were eloquent about the pickles. 
even had a poem written about them (since lost, but probably knocking about 
yers trooly's study somewhere)

Many were the mem'ries that I brought back from that war.
But best, the waterbearers, and the pickles that they bore.
